Yes Pippin, but would you or anyone you know, ever dream of joining a 
group called the Death Eaters? Don't you think people would just 
laugh at the idiocy of it, even if they were REALLY evil?
People with really disgusting motives usually like to hide them. 
Hitler would never have gotten so many people on board had he called 
his party the "Fascist Dictatorship and Genocide Party". No, instead 
he called it the National Socialist Party (i.e. Nazi Party).
